If you're in the market for a highly efficient gas fryer that can hold 65-70 lbs of oil, the Vulcan 1VK65A PowerFry5™ Fryer is an excellent choice. This fryer is ENERGYSTAR® qualified and is one of the most energy-efficient units available. Vulcan offers a wide selection of Commercial Deep Fryers, including Floor Model Gas Fryers, to suit various needs in commercial kitchens. The FivePass™ heat transfer system in this fryer sets it apart from other fryers with its unique design. The burner and heat exchange tubes resemble those found in racecars, with smooth bends that effectively extend the length of the tubes while using a single burner. This design increases the surface area for heat transfer, allowing more heat to be transferred to the oil using the same amount of fuel. As a result, this fryer achieves an impressive 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency, which is unmatched by other fryers. Additionally, the fryer features a SoftStart™ ignition system that gradually heats the oil at a rate of 35,000 BTU/hr, prolonging the life of the oil. When idle, the fryer only consumes 4,802 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature. To control the frying temperature, there is a solid state analog knob located behind the door, allowing users to set temperatures between 200°F and 390°F. The fryer also features an electronic ignition for quick startup, and fat melt modes eliminate the guesswork when bringing lard to a boil. The cabinet and fry tank of this fryer are constructed with stainless steel, ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance. The fryer comes with 6" casters that make it convenient to move around for maintenance and cleaning. The casters are adjustable to ensure the fryer is always level. Additionally, the fryer includes a tank brush, twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, and a clean-out rod. This fryer requires 80,000 BTU/hr of gas input and comes with a 120v NEMA 5-15P cord and plug for power.
